Clutch Pedal Arm, pulled and welded.

That 'red circle' was where it was snapped off, my friend ran a bead of weld, the entire circumference of that cylinder, that thing will not break again.

The manufacturer, only placed 3 short beads around the circumference of that cylinder and where the welds were not, weakened the steel. IMHO, that was not to smart AMC/Jeep!

Since @JimBoreckygave me a new clutch lever, and my old one is worn out I was gonna swap his in. Should I weld my new one too? Idk how common this issue is.

Yes

Alright will do lol

This seems like more than what is described as factory(welds), but I’m not sure if it is.  I’m assuming Jim did this weld, but it’s only halfway around( it’s fully around on the pedal side). Should I just finish the half weld or is this more than enough?
